"Dead Body Science - Fusion between
Zoo, Collection and Academic Research" |
| |
|
Wildlife medicine represents a new academic
field, and is now entering a phase of rapid advancement. As veterinary
medical science respects practical technology, but does not evaluate
basic biology, we should connect wildlife medicine with basic biology
and zoology to develop it as an academic system. From now, we must
reevaluate the scientific philosophy of anatomy, dead body science,
mammalogy and natural history; understand the present status of the
animal dead bodies, specimens and samples; know the social circumstances
surrounding the present wildlife medicine. In the symposium, therefore,
speakers will discuss the policy for the collection of dead bodies,
specimens and samples from the standpoint of basic biology and zoology. |

"How we develop the Process of
the Endangered Species Recovery ~In-situ and Ex-situ Conservation,
and Reintroduction project~" |
| |
|
Despite the increasing need for intensive
conservation action for Japanese endangered species, the practical
process of how to develop effective endangered species recovery programs
has not been discussed enough among Japanese conservation practitioners.
Two specialists, Dr. Kleiman and Dr. Miller, who are deeply involved
in endangered species conservation worldwide, present the results
of a case study about the golden lion tamarin recovery project, and
in addition, provide a more general examination of the global trend
of endangered species recovery today. As examples of Japanese conservation
projects, the current situation relating to Oriental white stork reintroduction
will be presented, as will the Tsushima leopard cat conservation plan.
The process concerning how to develop an effective conservation plan
will be discussed in the symposium. |

COE 1 Symposium: "Ecological
and habitat environmental assessment of bears and eagles" |
| |
|
Bears and golden eagles are indicators
of wildlife living in the natural environment (in the forest). They
are sitting at the top of the ecosystem and called as umbrella species
or flagship species. What kind of natural environment where they can
live healthy? How is their ecology in the actual nature? For the answer
of these questions, we will provide research results about polar bears,
grizzly bears and black bears, three varieties of bears in the world,
and about golden eagle's cases in the United States and Japan (Mt.
Ibuki). In this session, consider the future of world nature and wildlife
focusing on ecology and habitat environment of bears and golden eagles. |

COE 2 Symposium: "Wildlife Rescue
and Environmental Monitoring" |
| |
|
In Japan, over several tens of thousands
of wildlife have been rescued every year caused by environmental modification
by human activities. The innovative techniques of environmental monitoring
have not been established though the potency of rescued animals is
recognized as an index of "human-caused modification of environment"
that has not had serious effects on human yet. In this session, we
invite four speakers that have acted in the front line of wildlife
rescue or environmental chemical research to introduce their advanced
and unique achievements. Let's think together about the problems and
possibility in wildlife rescue and the environmental monitoring technique!
This session is holding of the combination with Gifu Veterinary Medical
Association, Wildlife Rescue Veterinarian Association (Gifu), Japanese
Society of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine and The 21st Century COE Program
of Gifu University. |

COE 3 Symposium: "Ecology and breeding
of endangered species" |
| |
|
Since life appeared on the earth, many
animal species have come into being, and evolved, or went extinct.
So far, a large number of animal species have become extinct. The
flourishing or decay of animal species have largely been related to
the alternations of natural environment of the earth. Since the appearance
of human beings, much of natural environment have been destroyed for
the purpose of prosperity of human society, which caused the extinction
of wildlife by destroying their natural habitat. In the 21st century,
we are needed to save and conserve every animal species living on
earth, and have to prevent them from extinction.
"Ecology and Breeding of Endangered Wildlife Group" in
COE program have done researches from every angle for five years.
In the first part of the session, we will present a part of our
research achieved in this COE program, in the second part, Dr. Hildebrandt
will give a lecture on artificial insemination in elephants as a
veterinarian.

COE 4 Symposium: "Infections spread
among humans -domestic animals- wildlife" |
| |
|
The goals of this project is to clarify
the characteristics and the way of transmission on infectious agents
recently emerged or reemerged among humans-domestic animals-wildlife,
like SARS or avian flu. Especially, we'd like to focus on the role
of wildlife for expansion. We tried not only to characterize the infectious
agents but also to assess environment of the earth. This time world-wide
important infections, studies on avian flu and tuberculosis from oversea,
and Chlamydial infection in parrots and salmomellosis in reptiles
from Japan will be introduced, and relationship between infections
and environment will also discussed. |

wildlife as an indicator"
|
| |
|
Environmental pollution in the river and
the ocean induces various alterations in the body of wildlife living
in the habitat, which may warn the following disaster in domestic
animals and humans as a bad omen. As for endangered species of wildlife,
environmental pollution may affect as a negative factor, therefore,
it is necessary to monitor alterations in the body of wildlife to
conserve the environment, ecosystem consisted of wildlife and humans.

"Future of Endangered Species Recovery
in Japan -How to make the In-situ and Ex-situ Conservation,
and the Reintroduction project effective-" |
| |
|
There are 137 species (48 mammals and 89
birds) listed as being endangered on the Japanese red list (2002).
Of these species, 4 mammals and 39 birds are certificated as being
national endangered species by the Law for the Conservation of Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. For those species certified as being
endangered, conservation actions are implemented by the Japanese Ministry
of the Environment. However, despite the increasing need for intensive
conservation action for Japanese endangered species, the practical
process of how we develop an effective endangered species recovery
program has not been discussed among Japanese conservation practitioners.
The objective of this workshop is to identify the problems associated
with the process of endangered species recovery. Having identified
the relevant problems, we aim to set appropriate goals to improve
the conservation process in Japan, in large part drawing insights
from presentations given as part of the symposium "How we
develop the Process of the Endangered Species Recovery ~In-situ
and Ex-situ Conservation, and Reintroduction"
